A
sleepover (also called a
slumber party) is a type of
party which a guest or guests are invited to another's house to stay
overnight. For the most part, participants are
children or
adolescents of the same
sex. A
pajama party (also spelled
pyjama party) is a specific type with some focus on the
clothing worn. The participants typically stay up late, and talk and play until they fall asleep. These are usually held at one of the participant's homes with other children bringing their own pillows and other bedtime paraphernalia much of the time. Sometimes children will play
board games, watch
movies, build a
blanket fort, or engage in
pillow fights. Teenagers might have a
LAN party at a sleepover, or they may just play video games together on one console. They are primarily held in
Western cultures, and are considered fun by many children.
There are also sleepover parties for adults. These are often a fun form of regression, and sometimes have sexual overtones.
